For the breast exam, the doctor will give your instructions to wear the gown, lie down etc. Pero oast 3 or so years ang bungad ng doctor, hindi na mag breast exam? Ayoko naman sabihin, no doc, gusto ko ng breast exam. In a way parang they are already discouraging it so nakakahiya. Of course I still have an option to say na I want it but that is not how Filipino culture works. This is similar to my officemate na pag konti na lang ang food for sharing magaalok ng ng "ayaw mo?" Someone called him out in the long run kasi awkward naman nga sabihin ng "hindi, gusto ko"
